USCutter SC Series Motherboard
Replacement Guide
Tools needed:

 Small or Needle nose pliers
 Tape & a Marker
Average time to complete process:
 20 – 30 mins
This tutorial assumes that previous trouble shooting with a USCutter Technical Support Representative has determined
your SC Series motherboard to require replacement. Your cutter should be un-plugged from power throughout this
process. There are a variety of issues that would require a motherboard replacement, all of them stemming from hardware
failures only. The most common causes for motherboard replacement are:
 Jerky or inconsistent movement of the carriage or feed-rollers when “jogging” or
changing the home origin on the cutter.
 Grinding sound when “jogging” the feed-rollers or carriage* or no movement at all
 Unidentifiable characters (gibberish) displayed on the cutter’s LCD screen
 Flashing lights on the menu and/or carriage arm jumping up and down repeatedly
*A grinding sound when you first turn the cutter on likely indicates that the carriage bracket in the back of the machine is not making contact with
the green limit switch. This can be the result of the carriage having come off the track and is not a Motherboard failure.
